I walked into work this morning and the Christmas Music was already playing. (I work in a government building and they play local radio as idle noise. The radio converted to 100% Christmas Music this morning apparently.)

This just reminded me that my job will soon be playing the same 5-10 Christmas songs on a continuous loop from now until the end of January. And people wonder why retail workers hate the holidays.

I've always thought that if about 20% of the year is "a special season" then it's no longer special, it's now normal. Days in the Christmas Season are now more common in the year than Mondays.

It's that extra month in January that I just don't get. It's done, it's over with. I shouldn't still be hearing White Christmas when we're starting to put out our Valentine's Day displays.

I actually heard Christmas music a week ago in a small shopping mall in Waterloo.

And you have the day off the next day. Yeah ya gotta deal with extended family, but thats where alcohol is clutch. That's where I am with Thanksgiving. It's the best combo Holiday in terms of stress vs reward. And I say that as the primary cook for about 20 people. Cooking for me is fun. I love cooking from Wednesday after work until Thursday Lunch and then fall asleep watching football. Christmas on the other hand? Gift stress. Travel stress. Gotta juggle a half dozen families all wanting to do their super special shit at their super special time. You always get stuck choosing one over the other and then you get back-stabbing comments about how you must not love so-and-so enough because you can't even be bothered to show up for Christmas. Honestly? I'll say it: Corona Christmas was the best Christmas I had as an adult. Zero travel stress. Had a couple family zoom calls. Had some drinks. Ate what we wanted. Sat in my Star Wars Pajamas all day. Best holiday ever. But barring that, Thanksgiving is the best. Just don't wake me from my turkey stuffing coma.

Unlike everyone here, I love Christmas and also the music, but I'm not going to start listening to the Christmas music just yet. If you guys are stressing about the music, you should know that Hallmark had started airing their Christmas movies during October.
I am just going to avoid the Christmas music until maybe the week of Thanksgiving, or at the very least, more than halfway through this month.
I am more focused on Thanksgiving at the moment. Hell, the radio station that usually plays Christmas music won't start doing so until Thanksgiving.

Next year I’ll find a pumpkin patch that’s REALLY sincere! You’ll see!
In all seriousness, I took a "mental health day" today. I had such an insanely busy October that I just needed a day to catch up on a lot of things I had to neglect. On top of that, there are some reports of possible snow later this week so I decided to take my Halloween stuff down all at once-usually I leave it up for about a week and take it down piece by piece each day. At the same time, I actually got some Christmas stuff out earlier than normal; I keep the Halloween and Christmas decorations in the same closet, so I kind of figured may as well kill two birds with one stone. Feels more than a little strange.

First job out of college was being a manager at Abercrombie, and right after Halloween I could look forward to the mall going to "expanded hours" and Christmas music on the playlist.
I'm quite fortunate they fired me after two years, because I'm sure I'd be dead by now.

Hanukkah starts the Sunday right after Thanksgiving this year, too.
At least that should make shopping for that holiday a little less stressful since there's not as many Christmas shoppers yet.
